Editor's Note: Labyrinth Brewing Co. closed its taproom on July 21, 2024.

It wasn't too long ago that there weren't very many breweries in Connecticut, but over the last few years, the craft brewing industry has exploded nationwide, and you can now find lots of locally-brewed beers in the Nutmeg State. I love the variety that you can find in brewpubs: some have more of a familial atmosphere, some feel sports-oriented, and others have a unique vibe all their own. One of our favorite local breweries in Connecticut is Labyrinth Brewing in Manchester, CT. Fans of beer will find plenty to enjoy here, but there's a big added bonus, too: it's also got incredible pizza! Let's check it out:

Labyrinth Brewing Co. is located in Manchester's lovely historic district. The brewery opened up in 2018 and found success almost immediately. In late 2023, a partnership formed between Labyrinth and the popular food truck Ritual Pizza Co.

You can now pick up Ritual's amazing pies right here at Labyrinth while grabbing a few locally-made brews.

Events are scheduled throughout the year here, with concerts, open mic nights, and more.

Of course, the beers themselves are a huge draw - this is a brewery, after all!

You'll find a great selection of brews, with lagers and IPAs available, plus wines, ciders, and even a few frozen cocktails. There's something for every kind of drinker here.

The delicious pizzas are available with a variety of toppings, and you can even get vegan or gluten-free pies at no extra charge.

Manchester's just outside of our capital city, and a weekend trip to Hartford will keep you plenty entertained. If you're planning a few days away there, consider a stay at The Goodwin, a centrally-located hotel with plenty of amenities.
